Shooting my bow… but I CAN’T SEE through the sight!

- I saw this on Joshua Douglas’s channel, and had to try it myself. It’s a drill that forces you to keep both eyes open. Apparently your brain puts the pictures together so you can see you in and target together. It’s pretty wild!

I use a vision blocker on side of scope because i shoot both eyes open and i find for indoor i shoot better with the blocker, i forgot to put the vision blocker on last night all my arrows went left so my sight followed and it boggled me until i seen the blocker when packing up.
So after watching you and @joshuadouglasarchery do this, I spent most of today shooting with my sight covered with blue painters tape as well. My groups definitely got smaller throughout the day. Ironically,I always shoot with both eyes open anyway.
That’s awesome! It’s the most bizarre thing. Glad to see some other guys crazy enough to try it!
Love the video, great tool to use! your tape job is certainly a lot more pro looking than mine!
I’ll take being a pro at something! Even if it’s using tape 😂
Cool video. I will be trying this. You looked shocked at your first shot. I bet it will be fun stepping that back as well. 🎯
I was! It was cool to try this. This was at 30 yards. I did shoot a single arrow at 60-ish and it hit the target, so that was a win for me. Decided to quit while I was ahead at that point
With rifles and pistols it’s called the occluded red dot trick… Ive done it a lot with pistols never my bow. I’ll try it
I’ll look that up, appreciate it man!
Experimenting with this might come in handy if you somehow hurt your shooting eye and was on a hunt. You could still shoot well enough?
You still need your shooting eye to see the pin. I don’t think it would work if you couldn’t see out of that eye..
I tried it today. Iam not quite sure what its supposed to train. But its pretty neat.
I think it really can help people who tend to shoot with only one eye open (like me usually). And I really had to focus on the target, not on the pins, which is another bad habit that some folks have
It makes since that your group was right of center. If you're now looking through your non-dominant eye, it's going to line up to the right, I'm thinking.
Certainly possible. I think there’s a lot of room for error here since relying on your brain to put the pictures together can probably vary shot to shot. I know my sight picture changed during each shot as I was adjusting trying to figure it out.
What's the point?
Ya know I’m not 100% sure. When I first saw it, it was intended to help keep both eyes open during the shot, which it definitely forces you to do. But it’s definitely not a “normal” shot so I’m not sure it’s really training anything if it’s not like you’re going to shoot regularly
when you shoot from the light into the dark it is often very hard to see the target through the peep, so you get your pins with one eye and look at the target with the other.
